Another environmental armageddon diatribe to start your day!!

[Fierce Allegiance]

I saw a really stupid movie like that, but everyyone froze because of global warming, not cooked.

"Fred Pearce will discuss his book...

Whatta pimp.

[Fierce Allegiance]

I think it’s funny these people think the melting of the Arctic ice cap will raise sea levels. I guess their momma’s never read them the story or Archimedes. Eureaka!

...a growing number of scientists are beginning to worry that climate change might come much sooner...

Sooner than their research grants run out?

[raybbr]

They point out that, in the past, climate change has not been gradual. Europe's climate has switched from arctic to tropical in three to five years and, they warn, it can happen again.

Okay. So it happened. But, since Scotland in NOT tropical at this time that means it reversed.

But, wait!

Fred Pearce, of the New Scientist, has spent the past two years speaking to climate experts who are studying the possibility of "type 2" climate change - abrupt, catastrophic and irreversible.

It it's irreversible why isn't Scotland still tropical?

These people lie and can't keep track of the lies from one sentence to the next.

[SIDENET]

"But there are many scientists who are increasingly worried about a sudden and catastrophic acceleration that could happen at any time."

The religion of Global Warmism issues another dire warning to whip up the faithful.

Millions of climate refugees are displaced by rising sea levels, failing crops, water shortages and extreme weather.

"Climate refugees"? Has anyone heard this term used before? We may have a new global warming term.

[sgtbono2002]

Scientists might also point out that while this happened there wasnt a damned thing anyone could do about it.

Man does not run this planet, scientists are not in charge of weather, they cant even get tomorrow’s forecast right.

I am actually looking forward to it. You see, it will put my home in a Med climate one hour from the beach and 45 minutes from the mountains. Perfect. Just like back in the Cretaceous when the dinosaurs killed themselves with their SUVs and fluorcarbons.

Dodgy dykes let the sea into the reactor.

Best keep them dykes away from the reactor. Especially the bull dykes.

The IPCC is a very conservative body

Compared to what? Greenpeace? PETA? Those idiots that chain themselves to trees and worship Mother Gaia??

No bias here. Say Three "Hail AlGore"s and move along.

[napscoordinator]

Well let’s see. The last time this happened were their cars, people and everything else that caused this? I believe the answer would be no. So if it happens again perhaps it is a natural occurance and supposed to happen. What is so difficult to understand about this?

[napscoordinator]

By the way, I am not doing anything for the environment, I am just going to buy carbon credits...that is the in thing for the “real” people. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BobS]

"But many climate experts say this method of modelling ignores the possibility of "tipping points" at which the climate suddenly spirals out of control."

That's when women take their clothes off.

I’ve heard the Scotsman is a liberal rag and pimp for every leftist cause there is.

The following graphs show that Earth is in a brief period of global warming called an interglacial. The longer time spans, the deep troughs are glacial periods. The line that runs across the graphs is the temperature in 1950 and listed as "0" on the left axis.

As can be seen in Figure 1-5, Earth appears ready to move toward another ice age in the cycle.

I'm more concerned with sustaining global warming to offset global cooling and the next ice age. 

Ice Ages & Astronomical Causes
Brief Introduction to the History of Climate
by Richard A. Muller

Origin of the 100 kyr Glacial Cycle

This first graph looks bad, doesn't it -- steeper upward temperature trend. Horizontal red line is temperature at 1950.

Figure 1-1 Global warming

The second graph shows today's temperature isn't out of the norm. Horizontal blue line is temperature at 1950.

Figure 1-2 Climate of the last 2400 years

The next graph shows a downtrend in temperatures from 8,000 years ago to today. The down trend is steeper in the recent 2,000 years. From left to right the upper spikes have lower highs while the lower spikes have lower lows. (The same effect can be seen in Figure 1-2, above.) 

Figure 1-3 Climate of the last 12,000 years

This graph shows that agriculture and  stationary societies emerged 8,000 years ago during a time frame when global temperature was much higher than normal, or average.

Figure 1-4 Climate of the last 100,000 years

The next graph shows that the recent 8,000 years was one of five brief hot spikes when glaciers were at minimums. With much longer troughs when glacials (ice ages) were the norm most of the time.

Figure 1-5 Climate for the last 420 kyr, from Vostok ice

The graph below is reversed. That is, the left side is present day and the right side is 3 million years ago. It shows a 3 million year down trend toward widening extremes in the temperature cycle.

Figure 1-6 Climate for the last 3 million years

The final graph shows CO2 lagging temperature change -- not leading it.

Figure 1-7 CO2 and temperature for the last 450 kyr

When man can cause meaningful global warming yesterday would be a good time to begin thwarting the next ice age.
